AMWAY
ARENA |
Constructed in the
late 1980s, the home of the Orlando Magic is one of the oldest arenas in
the NBA. During the 1980s the NBA wanted to expand the league and its
market into the State of Florida. Both Orlando and Miami were both
cities that were seen that could support NBA franchises and were awarded
teams. The Miami Heat began playing during the 1988-89 season and the
Orlando Magic the following season. After the announcement that Orlando
would be awarded a team, the city began construction of a new arena in
the city.

Located in
downtown Orlando, the facility was originally known
as the Orlando Arena, and nicknamed O-Rena. The Magic played their first
game at the arena on November 4, 1989 in a loss against the New Jersey
Nets. At a cost of $198 million, the Orlando Arena was completely
publicly financed. Since its opening, the arena has had several names
from being known as the TD Waterhouse Centre to its current
name, Amway Arena. Amway recently agreed to a four year, $1.5
million agreement to name the facility. It has a seating
capacity of 17,248 in two levels with 26 luxury suites on the
third level. One main concourse serves both main levels for
games. The Magic recently announced plans for a new arena to be
constructed as Amway Arena does not have enough seating and
luxury suites like other arenas in the NBA. At a cost of $480
million, the arena is expected to be completed by the 2010
season. |
